According to custom, the bride did have to go back home with her husband after she got married, otherwise, the villagers would gossip.

Ding Jun had never gotten married in her previous life, so she had not thought of this.

She was surprised that Chen Zhiguo, who looked like a very rough man, was so meticulous and considerate. She nodded her agreement.

Thinking of how he soaked her feet last night and rubbed her stomach the whole night, Ding Jun’s face turned red again.

After breakfast, the two of them cleaned up briefly and returned to the Ding family, but they did not expect to bump into someone at home.

It was Ding Yong’s in-laws who came to discuss marriage matters.

Seeing Ding Jun and Chen Zhiguo come back with two gift boxes in their hands, Mother Ding’s eyes lit up and she immediately went up to greet them.

Ding Jun was beautiful and her style of dressing today was different from the past. It was clearly simple and plain clothes, but set pair of clothes had a different style to them.

Chen Zhiguo had a tall and straight figure, a handsome and resolute face, and an imposing aura. The two of them looked really well-matched when they stood together.

Mother Ding’s eyes lit up as she sized up the two of them. She quickly took the gift box from Chen Zhiguo’s hands and smiled. She pretended to be enthusiastic and said, “Zhiguo, Little Jun, why are you back today? What a coincidence.”

Ding Yong’s in-laws had come to discuss matters at home. Their family did not have enough financial resources and did not have four major items, so they were in a weak position. Chen Zhiguo, this handsome son-in-law who came from a military background, really boosted their ego.

Mother Ding pulled Chen Zhiguo into the house as she glanced at the in-laws. She slightly raised her head and puffed out her chest as she introduced them. “In-laws, this is my daughter and my son-in-law. They haven’t been married for long and are returning home today. What a coincidence, hahaha.”

The few people who were dressed luxuriously were obviously from the city. When they saw Chen Zhiguo and Ding Jun, their eyes were filled with amazement. However, a woman raised her eyebrows and a hint of disdain flashed across her eyes.

Ding Jun looked at the young woman sitting next to the woman. She knew in her heart that this was her brother’s fiancée, Gong Baoxia.

Her appearance was indeed not bad, and she was somewhat beautiful.

Ding Jun and Chen Zhiguo took their seats. The woman across from them spoke, her tone full of disdain. “I’ve already said before that the betrothal gift is 250 yuan, and there must also be four major items. Now that you have nothing, you’ve called us here. How can we settle this?”

Mother Gong’s voice was sharp, and she was dressed in an extremely philistine manner. This marriage had never been to her liking, so it was difficult for her to be kind to the Ding family.

Gong Baoxia had a pretty face. Mother Gong had originally thought that her daughter would be able to marry into a rich family, but she did not expect that she would end up with a poor country boy.

Gong Baoxia was obedient, and she listened to her mother. Her father was also a good-for-nothing, so everything in the family was up to Mother Gong.

If it were not for the fact that Ding Yong and Gong Baoxia had been talking for two years and the Ding family had received the astronomical betrothal gift money of 200 yuan from Ding Jun, she would not have relented.

Even so, when she saw the dilapidated house of the Ding family, Mother Gong still looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.

Mother Ding took a few glances at Chen Zhiguo’s expression and smiled at Mother Gong. There was a hint of embarrassment and probing in her tone. “In-laws, we’ve already thought of everything in the past few days. We really can’t gather 250 yuan and four large betrothal gifts. Besides, these two children are still young. Can they not earn money to buy whatever they want?”

Hearing this, Mother Gong glared. “What are you talking about? My daughter is so pretty, which man wouldn’t want her? Why must she suffer with your family? There are many people who can gather the four items and 250 yuan as betrothal gifts!”

Mother Ding pursed her lips. Listening to Mother Gong’s picky and disdainful words, she wanted to fly into a rage again and again.

However, seeing her son who had to swallow his anger, she had no choice but to swallow it as well. It was her son’s fault for choosing Gong Baoxia! Otherwise, they would not have to suffer!

Out of the corner of her eye, Mother Ding looked at Chen Zhiguo, who had his head lowered and was gently turning the teacup in his hand. She raised her eyebrows and quickly went up to him with a bright smile. “Zhiguo, is the tea cold? I’ll pour some more for you..”
